Tracing the Nazi extermination of Jewish art collectors with Wikidata Sparql Queries


How to represent the impact of the Holocaust?

Inhumanly huge numbers defy our capacity to understand.

How to depict both the fates of individuals and the larger context, without losing sight of either?

In this next series of posts we attempt to find a way to show what happened to Jewish art collectors and their world during and after the Holocaust.


Timeline from Wikidata Query

As Jewish art collectors, dealers, artists, curators, historians  and museum personnel were being targeted for persecution, robbery and murder by Germany's Nazi government, covetous eyes fixed upon their precious art collections. 


How can we document and visualise this massive double movement: the persecuted people on one hand and their possessions on the other?

We will begin with the people. Those who did not manage to flee, and who ended up murdered in Nazi camps or ghettos.




Each and every one of these individuals had a story: a family, friends, business and social relations, activities, passions, beliefs, enthusiasms, achievements, foibles; a life filled with events and people and - in the case of the individuals whose stories we trace here -  art.



How can we gather the huge amount of information and comprehend how it all fits together and what it means? 

This is not a small challenge.
___


One of the best tools for dealing with large amounts of linked information, such as relationships between people, places, things and events, is Wikidata.







Why Wikidata?


1) STRUCTURED

Because Wikidata is open yet structurally rigorous where it matters.
Wikidata has built into it a linked data structure that can be read by both humans and machines. 

2) OPEN TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD
Wikidata can be used for querying not only what is referenced in Wikidata itself, but also for linking to information that is held outside of Wikidata which shares a reference or authority file.

3) DATA QUALITY

For the art world and the Holocaust, Wikidata has remarkably rich data. Though still a work in progress with much that remains to be done, Wikidata is already far more reliable and complete in the topics that concern us than any other database, authority file or linked dataset that I know of.

4) CROWDSOURCED

The task of telling the story of the Jewish art world and what happened to the people and the artworks during and after the Holocaust is too big for any one person or institution. There are so many people and events and places and objects, so many photos and documents, so many sources, so many languages. It is a job for every individual of good faith who wants to contribute to the sum of our knowledge.

5) WIKIMEDIA FOUNDATION

Because Wikidata is driven and maintained and enriched by very clever and hardworking people, and whatever innovations and advances are achieved become available to all of us, for free, where amazingly powerful tools cost only the effort of learning how to use them.


In this next series of posts, I hope to share some ideas and practical tips for using Wikidata Sparql queries to better understand the fates of Jewish art collectors and their collections, both collectively and individually. 


I hope that Holocaust scholars, art historians, provenance researchers, families and their advocates will find some of this useful, and that Sparql mavens will engage with the queries to improve them for the benefit of all.





(My apologies in advance to people who actually know how to write Sparql queries, and my thanks in advance for improving upon these amateurish efforts.)

Griggs, B.A. 1896, Fund2011.75.1Italian, Rome17th–18th centurySculptureThe original provenance of this bronze is unknown, but it was clearly an expensive commission - judging from its size and the quality of its casting, chasing, and gilding - intended for an altar rather than for private devotion. It is said to have come from the collection of the Princes Chigi in Rome, descendants of the family from which Pope Alexander VII derived, prominent landowners in the Sienese territories in Tuscany and at Ariccia near Rome, and perhaps the greatest of Bernini's major patrons. In all probability it was part of a commission intended from the first for one of their benefices. From the Chigi, the bronze was sold to a private collection in Germany. It was acquired there by Alex Wengraf, Ltd., London, who sold it to Dr. Arthur Sackler. It is now being offered at auction (Sotheby's, New York, January 29, 2010, lot 448) by the Arthur Sackler Foundation.

One is a small copper, the other, with somewhat similar scenery, a large canvas, and the third its pendant. The patron was a military engineer and collector from Zürich. He was elected a counselor of Zürich in 1648, and at the beginning of 1650 was sent as an envoy on a short military mission to Venice. He did not go to Rome. What brought him in touch with Claude is not known. In Italian he signed his name 'Verdmiller', Claude's spelling is a correct phonetic rendering. Werdmüller, an amateur painter himself, increased his inherited collection, for instance, later he patronized the Dutch landscape painter Jan Hackaert (1629- c. 1699). The greater part of the collection was dispersed at the beginning of the 18th century and passed into foreign countries. The inventory of 1789 contains no Claude, but still has a few paintings of Asselyn, Salvator, Teniers, etc" (Röthlisberger 1961, Vol. I, p. 290).;Bibliography;Alan Shestack, ed., Yale University Art Gallery Selections (New Haven, Conn.: Yale University Art Gallery, 1983), 34–35, ill.

Although it left Italy in the eighteenth century, it belonged to the Van Diemen Gallery in Berlin by 1930. Clearly it was acquired under legitimate circumstances by the Van Diemen Gallery, but it has not been possible to determine when or to whom it was sold by them. The Van Diemen Gallery relocated from Berlin to New York before 1935, becoming Van Diemen Lillienfeld. There is every reason to imagine that this painting presents no improprieties of provenance, but we have no hard proof of that. The present owner of the Van Diemen Lillienfeld stock cards, which in any event go back only to 1945, can find no mention of this painting among them.;Paul Graupe Collection, Berlin, 25 January 1935 (sale of Van Diemen Gallery Collection, Berlin, Vanni's Madonna della Pappa not included).;Bibliography;Gugielmo Della Valle, Lettere Sanesi, 3 (Rome: Salomoni, 1786), 351.;Ulrich Thieme et al., Allgemeines Lexikon der bildenden Künstler von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart, 34 (Leipzig, Germany: W.
